Whether the weather is wet or dry

The City of Austin has seen devastating flood damage near Waller Creek too many times to list. Along with expensive repairs to property, hundreds of lives have been lost to flooding over the city's history, the most recent in 2007. Located in the flash flood alley of central Texas, the city sees heavy downpours due to moisture coming in from the south from the Gulf of Mexico, meeting colder air masses coming in from ttie north. That clash creates significant amounts of rainfall and heavy storms.
